I have some really nice cutting so I put root hormone on the bottom of the rockwool, then planted them,threw water on them.I put them in yesterday,looking pretty wilted right at the peak of the heat,so I tented them and misted them,should I have?It's that the noone heat is blazing,so I figured I'd better get them a break,good idea?Bad?ANy suggestions from the gallery?   | ||

 | Hey Alivenkikn - Yes NP - the first question is, where there roots when you planted? If there were then, I think you took good care of your baby. From inside to hot sun can be quite a jump for a new transplant... You'll know alot more tomorrow. Peace- Outdoors

|  They're 20 days old,well 21 when I put them in,24 now.Yes the roots were established fairly well.THey got a little sun today but it starts getting too hot so I've tented again,can I do anymore? I'm thinking that during the real baking time of day,direct sun,keep them out of it for now till they become established,unless they croak on me.1 looks real good but 2 are flailing.Should I mist them? They sure seemed to be doing alot of that where they came from?ANd they were in the rockwool,like I said,20 days old and now they're 24..  SO if I get 3 more or 4,maybe 2 will survive.My idea is that I get them going in a pot so I can adjust the sun and eare the ladies into the brutal outdoors.Eh?? They go from there into the ground and time is a ticking.Hummm. | ||

| This is just a thought. Why dont you make a small chamber and use some artificial light to get your clones going good before you put them out? Grow them in there until they build up enough strength, maybe to 8 or 10". That way they would handle the sun much better. | ||

| The one surviver in the ground is getting the full on sun today,1st day.The others are in pots so I can control the sum a little better.All these clones have been better than 20 days old,in rockwool w /a good root structure.THese I lightly dusted on the bottom w/root hormone and did them i the pots. | ||
